10 thoughts on “The Stillness of Poetry, Part 2”

Beautiful, Bettie! I LOVE your haiku!! Well done on finding your brave and unleashing your art. May it be just the start of gaining courage and strength in stillness. I'm excited to see where this journey takes you, dear friend! ����

Thank you so much for your motivation, Joy! You have been a great encouragement to me to keep pursuing the creative heart that God places within each one of us. He surely knows how to bring out the words of His choosing, doesn't He? 🙂 I am glad to be on this journey with you, my friend. xoxo

Bettie, I love your haiku! It's beautiful and brings such a sense of peace and calm. I'm so glad you “took the plunge” and joined in! “…my own heart is choosing to look up,to remain in that place ofStillness before my God.” Yes, He is the one who will never change, is full of love and mercy, and will bring about His purposes. Blessings to you dear Bettie! I'm so excited you are doing this, my dear blogging sister/friend. xoxo

Dear Gayl, Thank you so much for your inspiration to join in this new (for me) poetry challenge! I think I'm going to really like it. Isn't God so good to bring us the peace that we need to continue Hoping in His purposes? I am so grateful to be able to connect with you also my blogging sister/friend! xoxo

Such a beautiful start, Bettie. 🙂 It makes me think how God shines His light in the darkness of our hearts and He is also powerful to shine His light in the midst of such darkness and turmoil in our country. I keep reminding myself that He is God and He will always be in control. As you say, He remains constant and loving, even when all else might feel shaken. Thank you for encouraging my heart today! Love and hugs!

Dear Trudy, Thank you for your encouragement to keep going in these new ventures. 🙂 And, yes, you are so right that God is so “powerful to shine His light in the midst of such darkness and turmoil.” I need to keep reminding myself of that, daily, also. His light and His love keep us ever secure! Love and Hugs to you also my friend!

Thank you for your kind words, Meg! I have missed reading your wonderful words as well. But I am excited to hear about the ways that God has been with you in the writing break! I am so grateful for your encouragement and prayers, my friend! xoxo
